I had known about the beautiful program called Parchment for a few weeks now, but been unable to do anything about it. I assumed it would require throwing a web app on JC and … – I made poor assumptions. This is one of the, if not THE easiest way to play Interactive Fiction. I don’t even know what verbs I should be using here, because I did nothing but type in a link to get this going. “I arranged things so you can play two of my games using Parchment”? No. “I uploaded two of my games and … typed some stuff an-” – No!
“I did the barest minimum and now you can play two of my games over the Internet in a delightful font.” That’ll work.
Chicks Dig Jerks, using the Zcode web terp Parchment.
Revenger, using the same.
Many thanks to the Parchment team! I’m extremely delighted and extremely impressed.
The display is very nice… actually much nicer than most interpreters!
I know it’s stating the obvious but what a pity there is nothing similar for Hugo!
A very late comment: Parchment rocks. The amazing epiphany was when I went to “upload” my 140-character games to Parchment and discovered that I could use the exact same method to play any z-file on the web anywhere.
